ANNUAL CAMPAIGN KICKS OFF!

 

With the approach of the High Holy Days comes the kick-off the Flint Jewish Federation Annual Campaign. Our goal is to raise $290,000 by December 31st.

 

The funds raised are allocated to Israel, 70 countries and for local programs and services.  In the former Soviet Union we help provide medicines, toiletries and meals to over 170,000 beneficiaries each year.  Your support enables us to rebuild Jewish life through the establishment of centers, programs and camps for youth and the elderly.

 

When disaster strikes around the world and here in the US we respond.  We were among the first responders with support for Oklahoma City, Joplin Missouri and New York and New Jersey victims of hurricanes and tornados this past year.

 

Locally, our annual campaign supports

the Ivriah, Jewish Community services with its many resettlement, transportation, nutrition and other senior services.  The Federation sponsors numerous programs during the year including the Holocaust Remembrance Event, the Donald Riegle Community Service Awards Event and the Jewish Film Festival among others.  We also provide scholarships and grants for our youth to attend Jewish camps, youth group conventions and missions to Israel.

 

It is traditional at this time of year to give to charity to ensure our inscription in the Book of Life.  If you have not yet made your campaign pledge please consider doing so now.  If you can pay all or portion at this time it will be greatly appreciated.  The Federation accepts checks, cash, credit cards and appreciated shares of stock.

 

Call Ashley Musser at (810) 767-5922 for more information or to make your donation.
